drum-tec V3 Hotspotless Snare?

Post by stipsi »

Hello

Has anyone already tested the new Drum-Tec V3 snare with the 3 triggers in conjunction with eDrumin?

It doesn't work. Can you elaborate? Surely it works to some extent.

Hello,
I have just bought a Drum-Tec Diabolo 3 snare with the 3 cones. It's actually very good. Especially for the special price they are now offering on the new models.
I tested the combination of edrumin 8 and EZdrummer3.
No hotspot, the positional sensing works perfectly. I still have to work on the sidestick and rimshot, but that shouldn't be a problem.
BUT....
the output of the snare is much too high. I have reduced the gain to a minimum and still get the 127 when I play 75% of my velocity (and I don't think I'm a heavy hitter). Drum-Tec support has not been able to help me so far.

Does anyone have any good ideas on how to fix this, as I would like to keep the drum?
I don't want to replace the cones or solder anything on a newly purchased unit.
Is there some kind of attenuator that I can just put between the cable and the module?

ON the pro it seems to be solved, if I am reading this correctly:

"Exclusive on the pro 3 Snare: an additional switch, mounted on the outside, which lowers the output voltage of the head signal if necessary. This is advantageous for E-Drum modules that require a high level of rim detection for the natural reproduction of your sound."

drum-tec pro 3 Snare Drum

drum-tec pro 3 Snare Drum PadAdvanced trigger technology and best playabilitySophisticated acoustic look, barely different to an acoustic snare drumAvailable in 2 sizes and 4 finishesHandcrafted in Germany5 years warrantySnare with 7 sensors - worldwide unique!The drum-tec pro 3 snare drum provides an unrivaled precise reproduction of your playing style. A total of seven sensors transmit your impulses to the module.In the epicenter of this E-Drum pad, under the middle of the 3-layer mesh head, three triggers detect even the finest nuances. Arranged trigonally, this results in a larger and dynamically more even head center area than all previous trigger systems in drum-tec snare drums.A big advantage: the configuration of the triggers completely eliminates the appearance of a hotspot. Your drumming is getting a wider range and you have more freedom on the drum pads surface.Three more head triggers are placed in the rim area of the shell. They are mounted on a separate hoop, isolated from the shell. The floating suspension of the triggers provides positional sensing that is independent of the drumheads tension. You can tighten your mesh head individually with the best rebound for you, still the trigger sensitivity remains at its best.A system of struts and a centered rim trigger ensure perfect detection of the rim parts of your performance.Exclusive on the pro 3 Snare: an additional switch, mounted on the outside, which lowers the output voltage of the head signal if necessary. This is advantageous for E-Drum modules that require a high level of rim detection for the natural reproduction of your sound.Classy Acoustic LookThe groundbreaking technology of the drum-tec pro 3 series is hidden in high-quality 6-layer birch wood shells, which are available in four high-gloss finishes . Solid chrome-plated hardware completes the premium look. Each drum-tec pro 3 pad is handcrafted in our manufactory in Northern Germany.drum-tec real feel Mesh HeadsThe shells of the pro 3 series are covered with white drum-tec real feel mesh heads on the striking side. Their convincing features include a unique rebound, very low intrinsic noise and a long service life.Scope of delivery of the drum-tec pro 3 snare drum1 x drum-tec pro 3 snare drumDelivery without cable


Anyone knows if this would make it a good option for a snare with Edrumin?

From an email I received from DT: "The switch does not reduce the voltage, it changes the energy between head and rim triggering...."

Not sure what that means, but it does contradict the wording on their website.

I guess it's too easy to be produced for sale. Just a stereo socket plus a stereo plug and resistor or potentiometer in between (tip of the socket and tip of the plug)

Hi

Is there any news on this topic?
Does it have someone in operation where it works 100% as it should?
